Free Web NovelChapter 306: Chapter 305: Dual Shadow Kill, the Shadow-devouring Spider Demon
CLANG!
The cry of a saber rang out!
Countless faint black saber glints tore through the void, whistling as they came!
In an instant, the space for several miles around Su Ye was engulfed, transformed into a chilling, merciless sea of saber light!
SHIING!
Layer upon layer of impossibly sharp saber light ripped through the air, violently shredding and blasting apart the residual Gang Wind and air currents around Su Ye!
And that was just the prelude!
After piercing through the Gangfeng Layer, the terrifying sea of saber light suddenly trembled.
Like phantoms, the countless faint black saber glints merged into one in the blink of an eye!
BZZZZ!
The faint black saber glints converged!
A jet-black long saber materialized!
This saber, wreathed in a glacial killing intent so intense it felt tangible, came slashing down!
The murderous aura was dreadful, the cold absolute!
Fast! Precise! Vicious!
"The Thousand Sceneries Shadow Slaying Saber!"
A top-tier magic treasure as famous as the Sea-Breaking Dragon-Slaying Saber!
It was none other than Jueying’s life-bound magic treasure!
That’s right!
The one launching this fatal sneak attack on Su Ye was the leader of the Spirit Control Sect’s "Four Shadows"!
"Die!"
Rage flooded Jueying’s heart!
Like a sickly tiger, a flush of bright red—born of humiliation—spread across his sallow face!
He was going all out, striking with his full fury!
He was lashing out in a humiliated rage!
The last quarter of an hour had been the most terrifying and nerve-wracking of Jueying’s entire life!
When he saw the windstorm reverse course,
for a split second, he was convinced a Golden Core Realm master had intervened!
As a Crystal Perfection cultivator, he knew better than anyone just how vast the gap was between the Crystal Perfection and Golden Core realms!
It seemed like just one step, but in truth... it was a chasm as wide as the heavens!
Moreover, because there had been no new Golden Core masters for a long time, the higher-ranking cultivators of the Spirit Control Sect had developed an obsession with the Golden Core Realm.
It had practically become a Heart Demon for them!
Therefore, the moment he realized a suspected Golden Core master from the United Fleet was steering the hurricane cyclone straight for Dingfeng Port...
That feeling...
It was as if his blood had frozen solid, his limbs turning stiff!
He had cowered in the grotto, trembling with fear as he watched the main fleet be destroyed!
But... as if it were some kind of joke,
’Mid-stage Crystal?!’
after the windstorm subsided, Jueying extended his senses.
The unmistakable Magical Power fluctuations of a Mid-stage Crystal cultivator flooded his mind!
"Ridiculous!"
"Utterly ridiculous!"
One can only imagine Jueying’s fury!
Of course, his reason was still intact.
He didn’t underestimate Su Ye in the slightest.
’Controlling the windstorm... that must be the power of a Quasi-Technique.’
’And this doesn’t look like the kind of power a Quasi-Technique from a single divine seed could unleash!’
’Is it a combined Divine Technique, unleashed by two, three, or even more divine seeds?!’
’And controlling a hurricane cyclone would obviously demand a great deal of Magical Power and Divine Sense... A genius cultivator like this can’t be judged by normal standards!’
’For now, I’ll treat his combat power as equivalent to Crystal Perfection!’
Numerous thoughts flashed through Jueying’s mind as he came to a decision.
’But so what if he has the combat power of a Crystal Perfection cultivator?’
’Using multiple Quasi-Techniques to control a hurricane cyclone—you think that comes with no cost?’
The rules of the Cultivation Realm were quite strict.
When it came to casting spells and Divine Techniques, the greater the power, the greater the cost!
To reverse and control a windstorm of this magnitude, even with the help of Quasi-Techniques, would have consumed a massive amount of Magical Power!
’Therefore...’
’his combat power must have been affected!’
Jueying felt that even if he acted alone, he had a seventy percent chance of killing him!
Besides...
he had a teammate!
Just as Jueying manipulated his magic treasure, the Thousand Sceneries Shadow Slaying Saber,
and brought it crashing down on Su Ye with cold, absolute killing intent!
BZZZ!
In the void beside him,
a ripple appeared, and an unremarkable gray dagger materialized!
It shot straight for Su Ye’s back!
Chengying!
He had made his move!
Compared to Jueying’s ruthless, decisive, and viciously sharp strike,
Chengying was more like a tarantula hidden in the deep forest, lying in wait for its prey!
In utter silence, it would bare its fangs, pounce, and deliver a single... fatal blow!
In that instant,
two Crystal Perfection cultivators unleashed their ultimate killing moves with all their might!
At this moment, Su Ye was trapped, attacked from both front and back!
「Dozens of miles away.」
"Hiss..."
’So this is the Four Shadows, this is Crystal Perfection?!’
Phantom Zhenren watched from afar, her heart trembling and her face pale with horror.
She imagined what would happen if she were the one facing the all-out killing blows of two Crystal Perfection cultivators...
’I’d die!’
’I’d definitely die!’
’Even if I reached the Mid-stage Crystal... no, even if I were at the late stage, I’d still be dead for sure!’
Phantom Zhenren’s eyelashes trembled, a chill running through her delicate body.
Even an observer dozens of miles from the battlefield was utterly terrified.
So... what was Su Ye feeling, as the primary target locked on by the all-out killing moves of two Crystal Perfection cultivators?
"Is that all you’ve got?!"
Su Ye sneered, letting out a long cry that echoed like thunder, a display of pure arrogance!
BZZZ!
The next moment!
The Moonfall Halberd appeared in his palm!
His clothes whipped in the wind as his bones and sinews sang in unison!
His Tier Three Late Stage physical body, comparable to that of a savage beast, channeled infinite Magical Power and, in an instant, unleashed countless silvery, frost-like Moon Arc Slashes!
SHIING! SHIING! SHIING!
The swings of the Moonfall Halberd were so fast they reached a certain apex!
Countless arcs of halberd light crisscrossed and weaved through the void!
Yet these extremely fast strikes paradoxically seemed to move in slow motion. The arcs of halberd light around Su Ye formed the image of a silvery-white water lily blooming open!
But this magnificent spectacle contained a terrifying and solemn killing intent!
’This is...’
Jueying’s pupils constricted!
He felt his Thousand Sceneries Shadow Slaying Saber struggle to advance even an inch against the Moon Arc Slashes!
The killing blows from two Crystal Perfection cultivators, both members of the Four Shadows, had been completely nullified!
And...
from within that "water lily,"
the handsome, black-robed Zhenren was slowly turning to look at him!
A pair of deep blue eyes, as magnificent as a god’s and as eerie as a demon’s, filled his vision!
"Hiss..."
Jueying’s heart instantly clenched!
He couldn’t describe what kind of eyes these were!
Indifferent, bloodthirsty, tyrannical!
An overwhelming sense of the inhuman washed over him!
’What kind of monster is he?!’
Jueying was horrified, the hair on his body standing on end!
He felt as if he were being watched, locked onto by a natural predator at the top of the food chain!
A sharp, intense sense of crisis, like a needle prick, suddenly bloomed in his heart!
’I’m going to die?!’
"No!"
"Absolutely not!"
Jueying’s eyes turned bloodshot!
Without hesitation, he activated his strongest trump card!
On his glabella,
a spider mark appeared.
However, it wasn’t a summoning.
It was... a fusion!
"Shadow-devouring Spider Demon Transformation!"
CRACK!
From Jueying’s sides, eight spider limbs burst forth from his body!
